Calling out Mckmama

I know Mckmama gets criticized for every.little.thing. she does. 

It's ridiculous.

I can't believe how so many people are so rude to her, have hate blogs about her and scrutinize her blog, her parenting skills and her as an individual. 

I am amazed every day.

I am usually in disbelief that people do that, but this weekend...

I was mad at her.

She makes her cake balls look so simple and pretty.

How is possible??

This picture is from her blog, I have no idea if I am allowed to show it or not, but I am giving her complete credit...it's from this post.

This was my 4th time making them.

You think I would improve over time.

Nope.

I was determined to have them look good this time.

I was trying all these new tricks.

Melting my chocolate a special way.

Letting the balls sit in the fridge over night.

I even bought the lollipop sticks {in the past I left them as balls}

But I am beginning to think that maybe Mckmama only showed us her two best ones out of the batch??

Because to be honest it goes a little something like this....

 Sprinkles everywhere.

Chocolate everywhere.

Every kind of utensil/technique you can think of to get the chocolate on in a non-sloppy way.

Whisk.

Toothpick.

Lollipop stick.

Spoons.

Greased spoons.

Baby spoons.
Greased fingers.
Greased hands.
Wax paper.
Mugs.
Bowls.
Pots.

 Oh and the lollipop sticks?

Failed.

The ball fell right down to the bottom.
Wonderful.

Dipping.

Dripping.

Coating.

Rolling.

Soaking.

Scooping.

Crumbling.

Disaster.

Yelling.

Throwing.

 It's a good thing these balls are so delicious because every single time they are a pain in my butt.

And after I consume about 5 while making them, 5 during the party, 3 with dinner, 3 after dinner and 2 for breakfast the next day,  they quickly become not only a pain in my butt but a part of my butt.

In the end they are always a big hit and no one really cares what they look like.

You try your best to present them in such a way that no one will really notice that they look like some messed-up-sketchy-what-is-and-where-did-it-come-from blob thing.
Not sure "ball" would be the correct description in this case.
And of course they would wonder who it came from because, let's be honest, that plays a big part in whether or not we will eat something at a party!

 So anyways,  I am just putting it out there that Mckmama might have special powers to make her cake balls come out so perfectly.

 Or maybe it's just me....

And of course to finish the post...
